Satellite and Aerial images on Garmin

[+cliptwings]

I did a search in this forum and did not find an answer to this question. On the Magellan Triton 400 I just sold, I was able to upload really nice Google Earth images and navigate to caches with them at various levels of magnification, using gmapmaker and tritonrmp software. It was really helpful to see what buildings, creeks, fences and obstructions were actually between me and the cache. I know Garmin uses an entirely different method of presenting maps and images on their displays (vector vs raster), but has anyone been able to put aerial and satellite imagery on a Garmin? A picture is worth a thousand words, or 500 cartoon street drawings. Thanks for the info.

Try Mapwel. Simple and fast vectorisation.

Here You can compare paper maps and effect of vectorisation from OziExplorer Greek maps on CD: http://www.garniak.pl/viewtopic.php?p=61656#p61656

 

It is in Polish, but look only at screenshots. No translation is necessary. Christopher.

A user on the Oregon wiki recently put together some instructions on how to use Mapwel for the Oregon.

Moagu does this too, but these are not ideal solutions. If you want raster imagery, get a DeLorme PN-40. Or wait until Garmin finally gets their act together and gives us a good way to get such imagery on the Oregon and Colorado series.
